George Oatley

Sir George Herbert Oatley was an English architect noted for his work in Bristol, especially the gothic Wills Memorial Building, for which he was knighted in 1925.

Oatley was born in Bristol in 1863, and after working as an apprentice to the architect Thomas Dashwood, he became a junior draughtsman for the local firm Godwin and Crisp, at the age of 16. Oatley became Henry Crisps partner aged only 26, when Godwin left the firm, and at the same time married Edith Lawrence.
